Nicholas Geiger Bitsko (born June 16, 2002) is an American professional baseball player who is a free agent. He was selected 24th overall by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft.
Bitsko attended Central Bucks High School East in Buckingham, Pennsylvania.[1] He committed to play college baseball at the University of Virginia in November 2016.[2]
Bitsko gained notoriety due to the circumstances of his draft stock rising; due to the coronavirus pandemic, few Major League Baseball scouts had seen him pitch, and much of the data collected was collected virtually.[3] He was a top-rated prospect for the 2021 Major League Baseball draft according to Baseball America, but graduated from high school early and reclassified to the class of 2020.[4] In 2020, he was named Pennsylvania's Gatorade Player of the Year.[5]
